Dream Team of Young Men

My brother decided to have the two of us put together a "dream team" of sorts. The players have to have five or less years of service in the major leagues. We also have to include at least two minor league players. We're putting our teams together in confidentiality, and then comparing. Sabean may want to take a look at this to get an idea of what the word "young" means.

It's getting kind of late and I'm really tired. Sorry if Chris Perez seems a little weird, but he was an All-Star. I was just pulling pitchers a relievers off the top off my head. I'd say it's a pretty decent bullpen. The rotation is exceptional, with the best pitcher in baseball heading the staff and the 2011 NL Cy Young following him. You can't get much better than that, even if I had to put a Dodger on here. It is a Cardinal-free zone, though! (Yes, Perez was drafted by the Cardinals, but he's not with them anymore!)
